Homesick Painting

Croatian artist living in Portugal. Since her first individual exhibition in 1997 she's been dedicating herself completely to art. She's been exhibited individually both in Croatia and Portugal and participated in numerous group shows. Her work is included in “Artist to look out for”, a publication released by the Starry Night Retreat in 2014. Through my paintings I want to interpret the world as I see it, feel it or think about it. With the interaction between colors I’m searching for new shapes and also to create a dialogue among them. My intention is to transmit to the observer different emotions, involve him into my inner dialogue. What is very important for me in the creative process of each work is to generate harmony. Even when I want to express despair, injustice or sorrow I need to find balance and harmonic rhythm. Although we live in a fast changing environment and being surrounded by suffering and most of us have had some kind of extreme experience, there is a kind of constant line witch extend all through human existence. In my paintings I’m not trying to imitate nature, I want to create some kind of a narrative beyond obvious appearances, the kind I can’t express with words or simply represent with familiar faces. My paintings are about people, even when it doesn’t seem so.
